FINALLY TO-NIGHT
"Meet Me in St. Louis," which Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer presents today at the Renown Theatre starring Judy Garland and Margaret O'Brien, is the kind of picture for which reviewers have trouble finding enough laudatory adjectives. This technicolour musical has just about everything you could ask for. It's the story of the Smiths of St. Louis, their lives and loves and aches and pains, of the approaching Fair which shapes up the great event of their time. Esther (Miss Garland) is in love with the new boy next door. Little Tootie (Margaret O'Brien) "helps" Ideliver ice, ministers to her dolls and gets into scrapes. Each memIber of the family, up to sly old I Grampa, has his own ideas and iputs them to work. j Then comes the bombshell, for iDad's firm want to transfer him permanently to New York. The ,family's reaction, the changes it causes in their lives and the final decision of the Smiths make a really heart-warming piece of family entertainment.
